Introduction
In the world of industrial automation, “office” computers are consumables. Dust clogs the fans, vibrations loosen components, and temperature fluctuations lead to blue screens. This is where the IWILL IBOX series steps in – industrial Box PCs designed as a “fortress” for your software.
If your system needs to survive an environment with metal shavings, oil and temperature spikes – a standard desktop has no chance. The IBOX series is designed for factory automation, where reliability is not optional but mandatory.
What makes IBOX unique?
Three engineering decisions that make the IBOX series the standard for heavy industry:
1. Finned Aluminium Design (Fanless Architecture)
The first thing you notice about the IBOX series is the massive chassis. This is not merely aesthetics. The chassis acts as an enormous heatsink.
The advantage: Heat from the processor is dissipated directly through the aluminium fins into the surrounding air. The absence of a fan means there is no intake of metal dust, oil or shavings into the enclosure – the number-one killer of electronics in a manufacturing environment.
2. Expandability and Legacy I/O
Modern laptops have only USB-C ports. But factories run machinery from the 1990s and 2000s. The IBOX series bridges the gap between old and new:
COM Ports
Up to 6x RS232/485 ports for connecting to PLC controllers and sensors.
GPIO (General Purpose I/O)
Direct control of relays and alarm indicators without the need for external controllers.
Expansion Slots
Option to add PCI/PCIe cards for video capture or motion control cards.
3. Real-world applications
Based on real projects from our experience:
Machine Vision
High computing power (Core i5/i7) for processing images from quality-control cameras.
Logistics Centres
Managing sorting lines where vibrations are constant.

Conclusion
If you are looking for a computer you can install and forget about for the next 5 years, IBOX is your choice. No moving parts, no ingested dust, no overheating – just stable operation, day after day.
The series covers requirements from entry level (Intel Celeron) to flagship (Core i7), with every model sharing the same industrial philosophy – uncompromising durability.
